1) “I Love LA” debut, 10:30 p.m., HBO and Max. After moving from New York to Los Angeles, Rachel Sennott had a job (playing Kyra Sedgwick’s daughter in “Call Your Mother”) and bad timing: It was 2021 and Covid made it tough to meet people and forge a new life. She partly re-creates that time in a Gen-Z comedy (shown here) about a makeshift life.
2) More new shows. Sunday is the top time for cable series. MGM+ has the openers of “Robin Hood” at 9 and 10 p.m. And two 9 p.m. shows opened last week, based on books by the horror masters: “Talamasca” (with Anne Rice characters) is on AMC; a prequel to Stephen King’s”It” is on HBO.
3) “Maigret,” 9 p.m., PBS. When a student is stabbed to death, Maigret probes the possible psychology of the killer. That starts a story that, next week, will bring a taut finish to a terrific first season. Also concluding next week are “Miss Austen” (8 p.m.) and the first season of “The Gold” (10).
4) “Tracker,” 8:30 p.m., CBS (but 8 p.m. on the West Coast). A couple days late, here’s an episode set on Halloween. A nurse has been murdered and an arsonist has fled from a psychiatric facility. Colter links with a local cop.
5) MOVIES: A Robert Redford marathon includes some great films — “All the President’s Men” at 3 p.m.; “The Sting,” 5:30; “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” 8; “The Way We Were,” 10:30. That last one is a sometimes-somber romance; for a lighter — and also well-crafted — one, catch “Anyone But You,” at 8 and 10 p.m. on FX.
